Call for Workshops

[ Download PDF ]

The MobiSec 2009 Workshop Chairs and the MobiSec Organizing Committee invite proposals for workshops to be held with the First Annual International Conference on Security and Privacy in Mobile Information and Communication Systems (MobiSec).

MobiSec 2009 will be held in Italy in June 2009. Workshops provide a forum for discussion among researchers and practitioners of areas of special interest within MobiSec. Successful workshops should complement the technical program of MobiSec. The aim is to provide a forum for novel ideas and specific research questions. Within this scope, several types of workshop organizations are encouraged. Workshops may be organized by invitation or via an open call for participation. Organizers may ask participants to give talks, submit short position papers, or full papers with a peer-review process.

Workshop organizers are expected to be active in the field where they propose a workshop. To foster interaction, the workshops are full-day events limited to 30-50 participants. Workshops are expected to be one day. A typical number of papers for a workshop are 10-12 but this may differ, depending on the chosen format, e.g., industrial tracks, panels, etc.

The workshop papers will be published together with the conference proceedings.

TOPICS: We expect workshops to complement the topics of MobiSec.

Please contact the workshop chairs (see contact information below) to propose workshop or to discuss ideas.
